Colors More Muted On Uncoated Stocks
Uncoated stocks will affect the color of your print as more ink is absorbed into the stock. You will see less saturation in the colors compared to if printing on a coated stock.
Color Will Vary
The upside of club-run printing is the shared savings, the downside is that we adjust color globally to get the best overall color for shared jobs. This means the color of club-run printed items will vary through the run and will not match exactly on re-prints. Our Indigo printing service is better suited to color critical work.
Greys Can Shift
CMYK Process colors in the grey range and de-saturated images can shift in color throughout the print run and may cause the greys to appear either cooler or warmer. For a neutral grey, we recommend converting all grey values and de-saturated images to true greyscale consisting of K (black) only values.
Your Blue Might Not Really Be Blue
Due to the nature of club-run printing, you may experience color variation in solid fills of blue. For great blue results, we recommend a 30% difference between your Cyan and Magenta levels to ensure a nice rich dark blue, rather than purple.
Use Rich Black
For the richest of deep dark blacks in print use 50/40/40/100 as the CMYK value. If printing small black text (or knocked out text), we recommend a k only black (0/0/0/100) to avoid misregistration issues.
These Fliers Are Perfect For Writing On
Write up a storm! Unlike our coated options, these fliers work perfect as sign-up sheets, event fliers with variable dates, forms and fliers that you can scrawl a note across the back. You've found a match.
Uncoated Papers Have More Texture That May Not Work Well With Small Text
The paper stock is a little bit grainier than other stocks so if you are looking for very sharp text this might not be the best paper stock for that or graphics that require razer sharp edges.
